System Programming Basics
Considerations
Review the following items before you begin the backup procedure:
The system does not have to be idle during backup; however, extension programming is
I
blocked.
Any objects that are in a maintenance-busy state are stored in that state. When you restore
I
system programming, these objects are busied out, even if they have since been released
from the maintenance-busy state.
If you plan to store your backup file on a floppy disk, format a DOS disk.
I
Uncompressed backup files are 100,000 to 210,000 bytes in size; compressed files are about
I
70,000 to 85,000 bytes.
Maintenance data (error logs and other data used by qualified service technicians) is not
I
saved in the backup file.
